Provider Module
Provider Module is a fan site that is a comprehensive resource of information regarding Marilyn Manson, including full Discographies, Videographies, Biographies, Image Galleries and an interactive Forum. The site was launched at 6 AM, Christmas morning of 2009.
Creation
The site originates from a combination of sources and persons. Provider Module, as a fan-generated venture, has been developed using the talents and passions of a small group. The Administrators and site creators are Cringeon, (who operated as staff for former Manson fansite (MansonUSA/The Heirophant), Norsefire (Owner and Designer of www.celebritarian.co.uk, and former MansonUSA Staff) and S.D. (independent writer/Manson essayist). Chiefly, graphic design and web-handling was orchestrated by Cringeon and Norsefire, with thematics and written content devised by S.D.
Coined from lyrics for The Last Day on Earth (cited by S.D. as his most favoured piece of recorded music of all time), the name was intended to encapsulate how a resource website, or a text of any kind (like The Bible, for instance...), can be seen as a "Provider", to be used as one might a gun, a prostitute, a book or a symbol.
